Healthy Salad Dressings For Your Healthy Diet

Last week we talked about green salads and this week we talk about healthy dressings on the Healthy Diet Podcast.

Show notes:

Why ruin a good salad with high artificial and fat content salad dressings? Salad dressings should enhance the flavor of your salad, not cover it up.
KraftFoodIngredients.com likes to hide the real ingredients in their products. It’s a web site for food scientists and others in the food industry. Do you want your food from a scientist or a farmer?
Jean covers ingredients in most salad dressings such as, xanathan gum, high fructose corn syrup, phosphoric acid, propylene glycol, polysorbate, excitotoxins in natural flavoring and artificial colors.
Basic ingredients in healthy salad dressings – Liquid, seasonings, sweeteners such as honey, dates, or raisins.
Seasonings for salad dressings include sesame oil, ginger, Braggs Aminos, tahini, parsley, tomato, onion, paprika, basil, pepper, oregano
Bottled dressings we use – Annie’s, Drew’s. Annie’s contains xanathan gum that’s hard to get away from and they are expensive. It’s much cheaper to make your own.
Bottom line – With simple ingredients you can have yourself an inexpensive, healthy salad dressing.
Check out the salad dressings on our healthy recipes page.
